“Heard from the pup lately?”
“Got a letter from him just this morning, actually. He’s doing well, his Potions class is more tolerable after my subtle intervention, and there are some new friends he’s considering asking over during the summer hols next year,” Lily said with a smile.
“That all sounds good,” Sirius remarked, carrying a couple plates and a handful of silverware into the dining room. “But what’s this about you and *subtle* intervention? The way I heard it, you sent Snape a Howler, and somehow got it to him right in the middle of breakfast at the Great Hall.”

Summary
“My, oh my my my, you’re a complex one, aren’t you? Let’s see here, a quick wit, with quite a bit of cunning to go with it - not too much in the way of ambition, but you are a hard worker, yes indeed...”
You’re just going over the stereotypes, Heather thought. What about what Felicity and Kiera told me on the train?
The voice remained quiet for a long moment. “...hmm. Seems you’re inclined to look a bit deeper than most whose minds I peer into, eh? Well, if it’s deeper analysis you want... yes, I see, you’ve realized magic is a gift, not a privilege - you’d be surprised how few seem to think the same way... And a fierce desire to protect your brother, my, look how brightly that shines.”
Harry’s all I’ve got. If I don’t look after him, no one else will.

The woman stared at him, shock obvious in every brushstroke of her being. “You’re one of Them,” she finally breathed. “One who Steps Between Stars...”
“I am. Took a hell of a lot of research to get me here,” Teddy said, eyes gleaming, “And I intend to make the most of every minute.”

Summary
Delphi blinked, unable to stop her eyebrows from drawing together in suspicious confusion. “...why are you here, Mister Harry?”
His head tilted to one side as his green eyes glinted. “You seem like a clever girl, Miss Delphi. Can you take a guess?”
Out of sight, Madam Rowle’s voice reached a fever pitch: “Absolutely NOT! She will NOT be leaving this house-” Her screeching overlapped with the other woman’s response, rendering both of them unintelligible, but Delphi’s heart skipped a beat regardless.

“S’okay, kid,” the woman smiled. “Started running away myself when I was a bit older than you. Took a few times before it stuck, but definitely worth it, each one. Do you actually have someplace you’re going, or is this a get-as-far-away-as-possible trip?”
The dog barked twice. Harry shot it a scowl as the woman chuckled. “No one asked for your input.” A lolling tongue and doggy grin answered him.
“Right, then.” The car stopped. “You and the mangy beast want a lift?”

Summary
Draco let an inarticulate noise escape his throat, and threw his hands up in the air dramatically. “Then why not do it first! Instead of letting me make a fool of myself dancing around hints while I tried to see if you recognized any of them!”
The other boy shrugged, and then winced when his own tape measure tapped an admonishment on one shoulder. “I mean. I was a little too surprised at first by how nice you were acting to think of anything to say.”
Oh, of all the-

Summary
Before the sky ripped in half, everyone had been enjoying a peaceful afternoon by the lake.
Well, nearly everyone - Snivellus was lurking by some trees in order to talk to Evans without attracting attention from other Slytherins, and the girl clearly knew it if the pinched expression on her face was anything to go by. James felt highly tempted to go over and give the greasy-haired boy a reason to run off so Evans could get back to enjoying the fresh air and sunshine, but before making it that far, the aforementioned sky got torn apart.
And suddenly, the afternoon wasn’t so sunshine-y any more.

“No, I am not simply willing to accept that answer,” Alice Longbottom snarled, bracing both hands against the desk and leaning forward to loom into the clerk’s face. “Now you’re either going to tell me where my godson is, or you are going to give me the name of someone who can.”

Cheers to the Wish that You're Here, But You're Not by Triscribe

Summary
For as long as Harry could remember, he’d dreamed of the fire lady.
She wasn’t made of fire, or even used it in the dreams, but her red hair flickered sometimes, curling up on its own, stray strands glinting gold every so often. It was magic hair, Harry felt certain, and he thought of her as the fire lady because of it.
They didn’t ever talk when he dreamed - honestly, Harry wasn’t sure she could, so he didn’t bother. Words weren’t needed, not really, not when he could curl up in her lap and relax beneath her fingers running through his messy black hair, a lullaby hummed in the air around them.
Harry didn’t need words to know she loved him, when no one else in the world did.
